Rick Warren and the Dangers of the Seeker-Friendly Church

Rick Warren comes off as a politician, not a shepherd in these clips regarding his shifting views on prop. 8 regarding gay marriage in California.  While the issue is old news, the problem is current.  Warren is considered the star of the seeker-friendly church movement, one which has taken the church in this country by storm. 

The problem with the movement is that Christianity is not "seeker-friendly", at least not in it's true form.  Taking up your cross is quite hard, as I can attest.  (Matt. 16:24-26)  There's no glamour or personal glory.  (1 Th. 3:3, 2 Tim. 3:12)  But their are some blessings, and great joy in the end.  So beware of the shepherds you follow.  They should look more like Jesus Christ than the world.
